Quick Updates

Welcome to Tom Mohr, the new Troop 57 Webmaster!

I have been the Troop's webmaster for at least 4 years. With my son heading off to college, it is time to pass the mantle to someone else.  Thanks to all that have helped me with keeping web pages current and for your encouragement and support over the years -- it has actually been a lot of fun! Please give Tom all your help and constructive suggestions as he continues to modify and improve upon the Troop 57 website.

-- John Hayse
